As we wrap up this wonderful day, I want to take a moment to express how grateful and thankful I am for our entire school community—our devoted parents, hardworking students, and dedicated staff.

Today our 8th graders took an exciting tour of the high school, our students enjoyed a variety of fun enrichment sessions, and we all came together for spirited pep rallies that celebrated our shared pride.

Moments like these remind us how fortunate we are to learn, grow, and celebrate together. Thank you for being an essential part of our school family.

I hope each of you enjoys a safe, relaxing, and refreshing fall break!

Kind regards,

Marisa Ramirez

Principal

We’ll be administering the i‑Ready Math and Reading Diagnostic Assessments on Monday, December 1, and Tuesday, December 2. To help you and your child prepare, we’ve created a detailed letter that includes the special bell schedules for those days, explanations of how the diagnostic works, and helpful tips for getting ready. All students should bring their charged district-issued Chromebook, personal wired headphones or earbuds, and a book or work to do after completing the assessment. No deliveries are able to be made to students during our testing block.

You can read the full letter here:
